Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have always wished I could afford a pair of the (now deleted) Nautilus 805 Signature speakers in Tiger's Eye finish. I went and demo'ed a pair, and the lowest the guy would go was $3,800 a pair. The cheapest I have ever seen a pair before was $2650/pair. Then I saw this listing at AudiogoN the other day. $600 a pair?!?! Before I could reply to the ad, it was updated to reflect a "Sold" status. I E-mailed the seller to ask if he might have another pair. His one word response was "No." Wow... just wow. I wish I could have been that lucky buyer. $600?

Jim Alfredson Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Wow. That's really cheap. Wonder if it is a scam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Wow. That's really cheap. Wonder if it is a scam? In the feedback, there appears to be a buyer who gave him positive feedback and the seller reciprocated. I suppose that could be done to set up a future scam, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go through. I think it was just a uninformed seller - or maybe just a seller who had no clue how much he paid for them and missed the '3' in front of the 600 on the receipt.

sidewinder Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Sounds like it could well be a scam. I've come across adverts on the likes of gumtree over here for top-end second-hand hi-fi kit at what look to be attractive prices then when you inquire you get legit serial numbers but very suspicious follow-up emails. In such cases I've reported them and the adverts have been removed pretty quick. I've always stayed clear of such sites and purchased through dealers. At least then you know for sure what you are getting and also that you'll have the appropriate warranty.

As my grandpappy used to say,"If it looks too good to be true...." well you know the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
